VMS is a serious resource hog. I'll take RSX-11M over VMS any day. It's smaller, faster (LSI-11 with RSX beats Microvax with VMS any day), and RSX actually has a *useful* system monitor. It'd be pretty easy to port an RSX-like operating system to the ST. RSX supports unmapped memory, too, though you need to write position-independent code. -- -- `-_-' Peter (have you hugged your wolf today?) da Silva. -- U Mail to ...!uunet!sugar!peter, flames to /dev/null. -- "Running DOS on a '386 is like driving an Indy car to the Stop-N-Go"
